The art of Chinese
Paper-cuts

 


108 characters of a novel, each of them minutiously described ... such is the challenge accepted by the Chinese craftsmen who created this incredible set or paper-cuts .
Features, costumes, weapons, here are all the details that appear under th scissors and blades of artists to create this exceptional paper lace. Environment, name or nickname of the heroes, nothing lacks! Just
compare two sets and you will be surprised by the differences as by the resemblances.
That is Chinese art of paper-cutting, that is skill of Chinese handicrafters...
Usually, Chinese paper-cuts which are signs of feast, represent lucky charms or everyday life. It is only the incredible popularity of Water Margin's heroes that can explain the existence of their paper-cut representation .
All men are brothers... but these sole 108 heroes are national mythic figures
